Matcha Dalgona Latte

The matcha dalgona latte is a vibrant twist on the viral whipped drink that took the internet by storm. Here, we swap coffee for our organic ceremonial matcha to create the same cloud-like texture—while enjoying matcha’s naturally uplifting feel. This version is also fully vegan thanks to aquafaba (chickpea water), which replaces egg whites in the traditional recipe.

Whether you’re craving a trendy drink or simply want a new way to enjoy matcha, this vegan matcha dalgona is a must-try.

Prep time:

10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp aquafaba (chickpea water)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp organic ceremonial matcha
• 3/4 glass plant milk (almond, coconut, soy, etc.)
• A pinch of matcha for dusting (optional)

Method:

1. Whip the aquafaba: Using an electric whisk, beat the aquafaba until light and fluffy, similar to whipped egg whites (about 5 minutes).
2. Add the sugar: Keep whisking while gradually adding the sugar until it dissolves into the foam.
3. Add the matcha: Add 1 tsp organic ceremonial matcha and whisk briefly until fully incorporated.
4. Prepare the glass: Fill a glass about three-quarters full with your plant milk.
5. Top with foam: Spoon the matcha foam over the milk to create the signature dalgona layer.
6. Dust and serve: Finish with a pinch of matcha on top if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tip:

For an even more indulgent version, add a splash of maple syrup or agave to the plant milk before topping with the matcha foam. It softens matcha’s natural bitterness beautifully.

Nutritional note:

This matcha dalgona latte is rich in antioxidants thanks to matcha and delivers a gentle, natural lift without the typical coffee “crash”. Aquafaba is also a clever plant-based alternative for anyone avoiding animal products.

When to enjoy it?

Perfect for a morning pick-me-up or as a refreshing midday treat. Enjoy it iced or warm depending on the season.

Diet type:

Suitable for vegan diets and easy to customise with different plant milks. Ideal if you want a delicious, café-style alternative to coffee-based drinks.

Enjoy!
